GBF250-1 - 1978-1988 GM G-Body Shock/Spring Lowering Kit, Double Adj. Shocks

UMI’s lowering kit includes Viking double adjustable shocks, hybrid front coil-overs with 250 lb springs, and 1" or 2" rear lowering springs. Designed for drag racing, it improves weight transfer and traction with adjustable ride height.

Details

UMI’s lowering package features four Viking double adjustable shocks, a hybrid front coil-over spring system with 250 lb front springs, and your choice of 1 or 2-inch UMI rear lowering springs. The 250 lb springs are 11" tall and intended exclusively for drag racing applications with significant vehicle weight reduction, providing excellent front-end lift and weight transfer for improved traction. The hybrid front coil-over system allows a 0–3" adjustable drop, while the rear springs offer 1" or 2" lowering options to fine-tune stance. Viking’s shocks provide 19 compression and 19 rebound settings, letting you dial in suspension performance for street, strip, or cornering with simple knob adjustments—no tools required. The bolt-in design eliminates the need for welding or a spring compressor for the front, and optional Spanner Wrench and Thrust Bearing Kits make height adjustments smoother. This setup is purpose-built for drag racing performance and is not recommended for street handling applications.
